Opening

LOX

A 1 track fusion single (7m 25s) — released November 8th 2024 on Jazz re:freshed

Jazz re:freshed are excited to present the debut single 'Opening' by drumming prodigy, LOX.

Overflowing with inspiration from a lifelong exposure to music and creativity courtesy of his father, now LOX realises it's his time to shine after drawing on his early experiences of going to gigs igniting a spark to develop his own compositions. 'Opening' is the first single taken from a larger body of work, a forthcoming 8 track Jazz-Fusion album titled 'The 8 Gates', which derives from an Anime series called 'Naruto' that made a very strong impression on LOX in his youth.

The track blossoms from a mesmerising steel pan solo, a deeply personal instrument to LOX, having grown up playing steel pan. It's where his writing process often begins, to develop melody and harmony, translating ideas into cohesive compositions. Supported by a powerful guitar melody played by Ben Glasser, the pan's delicate caressing melody played by the masterful Leon "Foster" Thomas, hailing from Trinidad via Miami. Leon has worked with many renowned names from all over the world, including artists such as Dolly Parton and The Gap Band.

The sum of all parts results in a breath-taking epic debut that sets LOX up as one to watch for 2025.
